Chapter 194 Green Camp Qing Army Cao Ding
The Qing army was blocked by wooden shields. The light arrows shot by the Jinyiwei with bows and arrows looked scary, but they did not cause much damage to the Qing army. Only a few dozen Qing soldiers fell down by arrows, and the other Qing soldiers continued to rush forward.
The Qing army in the Green Camp had an ability to withstand casualties at about 5%. The Qing army with 800 people lost more than ten people. Such casualties were far less than 5%, and it was early to collapse. What's more, these Qing soldiers had also heard that the Yansheng Gong Mansion was robbed by thieves. Looking at the thieves in front of them were filled with hundreds of cargoes, they knew that there must be a lot of gold, silver and treasures, so they rushed forward with no chance.
General Qian of the Qing army also saw Ni Duan. He pulled out his knife and shouted: "The thieves must have a lot of gold, silver and treasures! Kill them, these gold, silver and treasures are ours!"
"Kill!" Groups of Qing soldiers rushed up shouting. With the sound of bowstrings, Qing army archers shot out rows of light arrows while running, and arrows roared and shot over.
"Jiannu has fired an arrow, please pay attention to protection!" Zhao Peng shouted.
Only some of the young and strong men hiding behind the cart had shields, while most of the young and strong men had no shields. But Zhao Peng had already prepared wooden boards for them. Hearing Zhao Peng's shouts, Kong Liu, Shi Tou and others raised the wooden boards and pushed them over their heads.
Although the Jinyiwei standing in the car had armor protection, they still raised their shields to strengthen their defense. After all, their close-fitting chain mail was only protective of their bodies, and their limbs were not protected. They still needed shields to protect their limbs from injuries.
The Jinyiwei raised his shields and heard only the sound of a heavy rain-like arrowhead hitting the wooden board. The arrows shot by the Qing soldiers soon thorned a large area on the shield and on the cart, looking like a row of reeds growing from the cart. Many arrows passed over the heads of the Jinyiwei and shot among the young and strong people behind the cart.
Fortunately, there were shields and wooden boards to cover them, otherwise if these young and strong men who had no protective power were caught, they could be said to have suffered heavy losses due to the arrows. Most of the arrows were blocked, and only a few people were unfortunately shot. However, because they had defended the vital points, they suffered a little bit of minor injuries at most. Zhao Peng could help them easily treat the wounds.
The archers of the Jinyiwei also launched a counterattack at the Qing army's archers, and the shots flew towards the Qing army's archers. The Qing sabre players used shields to help their archers resist the attack. Many arrows still shot the Qing army's archers and shot down more than ten people.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to within forty steps. The Jinyiwei took out heavy arrows from the quiver pot, drew his bow and shot the incoming Qing soldiers with heavy arrows. As the distance approached, the Jinyiwei's preparation for archery became higher, especially the crossbowmen. The direct crossbow arrows had higher accuracy than bows and arrows. Many arrows shot in from the gaps between the shields of the Qing army and shot over the Qing soldiers.
The direct heavy arrow has a heavier mass than the light arrow, and its attack power is naturally stronger. When it is shot at the critical point by a heavy arrow, it can be said that it is killed on the spot. When it hits the limbs, it is immediately injured and loses its combat power.
However, both sides have shield protection, so the bows and arrows of both sides do not cause much lethality to their opponents. This is how purely cold weapons fight. Only a few opponents who rely entirely on bows and arrows to kill. The final winner still needs to rely on close-range hand-to-hand combat. Knife and gun are real. As the saying goes, one knife is equal to ten arrows, and one gun is equal to ten swords.
It was obvious that General Qian of the Qing army knew this, and he shouted: "Roar up! Cut them all!"
The Qing army chief Qian believed that he was more of the imperial army, and there were just a group of bandits on the other side, but a mob. As long as he entered close combat, the other party would definitely be defeated at once.
Just when both sides were less than ten steps away, both sides stopped shooting arrows. Qing Bing Dagger players were in front of them, and while supporting themselves with their shields, rows of javelins and flying axes flew towards the Jinyiwei on the cart. At the same time, they only heard a roar from the opposite side: "Stop!"
I saw rows of iron lumps with blue smoke flying towards my head.
Gu Hu
The Qing soldiers quickly picked up the shield to cover it. Some of the iron lumps were bounced out by the shield and hung on the ground in front. Some of the iron lumps were not stopped and fell into the Qing army crowd.
Several Qing soldiers were hit on their faces by iron lumps. They only felt the pain. After a closer look, they saw that an iron lump with a wooden handle fell into the crowd. Seeing these things, the Qing soldiers laughed: "Can the thief smash a piece of iron to death?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a series of "rumbling" explosions suddenly sounded in the crowd. Fires burst and gunpowdered, countless pieces flew out of the flames, flying everywhere among the Qing army's crowd. At the same time, the thunder that was blocked by the Qing army's shield also exploded violently, and a fire flashed in front of the Qing army, smoke and dust rolled, and explosions continued.
The power of the thunder explosion filled with new gunpowder was beyond the power of a bow and arrow. In this round of explosion, a group of blood mist splashed up among the Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers rushing in front screamed and fell in a pool of blood. The thunder wiped out the row of Qing soldiers who were rushing in front almost all over the sky, and a large number of corpses and wounded soldiers fell in front of the position.
"No, the thief is shocking the sky!" A Qing soldier shouted.
"The sky-shaking thunder is so powerful! Run!" Seeing the corpses and wounded soldiers in front of them, as well as broken limbs and legs, the Qing soldiers finally collapsed and turned around and ran away.
"Don't run away, cut off the thieves, their gold and silver are ours!" The Qing army General Qian shouted, and led his personal soldiers to desperately stop the defeated Qing soldiers, and even cut down several deserters. But everything was futile. Although there might be trucks of gold and silver treasures ahead, what can you do if you have money but don't have life?
More than 800 Qing army officials from the Green Camp were killed and injured by bows and arrows halfway. However, before approaching, many of them were killed and injured by the thunder. Almost all of the more than 100 Qing soldiers in front were reimbursed. Such casualties were far beyond the Qing army's ability to withstand the remaining Qing soldiers. All the remaining Qing soldiers collapsed and turned their heads to escape.
"Kill!" Zhao Peng shouted, pulled out his knife, and was the first to jump out of the car formation, chasing the Qing soldiers' back.
The Jinyiwei drew his swords one after another and followed Zhao Peng to chase and kill the defeated Qing soldiers in the Green Camp.
The next thing is very simple. Just draw a knife to chase, chase after the enemy, and cut off their heads with one knife. The defeated and fleeing enemies have no power to fight back at all. They will only compete with each other who can run faster. The chasing Jinyiwei just cut the enemy with one knife from behind.
But after all, most of the Jinyiwei are infantrymen, and they have to draw their swords to kill after catching up with the enemy, so they cannot wipe out the enemy's troops, nor can they leave the chariot formation too far, causing the people in the chariot formation to lose their protection, so they can only watch as most of the Qing soldiers run away.
However, Zhao Peng still had a twelve cavalry team. With the twelve horses he seized, he formed a squad without quitting the night. At this time, these squad without quitting the night can take on the duties of light cavalry part-time and ride on horseback to chase the Qing soldiers.
Several large chariots in the chariot formation were pushed away, revealing a gap for war horses to break out. Wang Quan rode on a tall horse and rushed out of the chariot formation like a gust of wind, chasing the back of the defeated Qing army.
Ye Bushu, who was riding a horse, kept catching up with the Qing soldiers of the Green Camp. Ping held a sabre and slashed through the impact of the war horses with a light knife, and a head flew into the sky. He caught up with a Qing soldier, cut his head down, and then chased another Qing soldier.
More than 600 escaped Caoguan were chased by twelve Yebugu's whistleblower cavalry, but none of them dared to turn back and resisted, only to escape by themselves. As a result, they were killed by Yebugu's corpses everywhere. They passed by and left behind the bodies of the green camp soldiers.
